Honored to earn the support of @804_local! ✊🏽
I have fought alongside them to push for the Empire Act in the state legislature & the Delivery Protection Act in the City Council.
Thrilled to get to work in partnership with their members at the State Senate!
Teamsters Local 804 is proud to endorse Jessica González-Rojas for NYS Senate District 13.
Jessica has been a fierce advocate for working people and our communities. Looking forward to big things in Albany!

Delivery workers deserve safe and fair conditions, and big corporations should be held accountable when they try to avoid responsibility.
Speaker @JulieMenin must put workers first and bring the Delivery Protection Act to a vote.
Since its reintroduction in April, the Delivery Protection Act has supermajority support in the New York City Council. Mayor Zohran Mamdani has committed to signing this critical legislation once passed. The only thing preventing New York City from making labor history? Council Speaker Julie Menin, who has failed to schedule this landmark bill for a vote.
Speaker Menin, it’s time to choose: Do you stand with every day New Yorkers who support the DPA, or with Amazon and other companies who endanger workers and the communities they deliver to?
Schedule the vote for the Delivery Protection Act and let the people of New York City have their say.

Amazon Teamsters, with the support of a supermajority of the New York City Council and Mayor Zohran Mamdani, are on the cusp of making a major, historic breakthrough to hold the $3 trillion corporation accountable by passing the Delivery Protection Act.
Speaker Julie Menin, schedule an immediate vote on the Delivery Protection Act!

Companies like Amazon demand the most from their drivers. As one worker told us, it doesn't matter if your mom died yesterday, if your kid is sick, they don't care. You need to work.
But when it comes to negotiating fair conditions and pay, the company creating the poor conditions refuse to come to the table. The reason? Because many last mile drivers are employed through third party contractors, making it easier for Amazon and similar companies to skirt accountability.
The Delivery Protection Act would end this exploitive loophole and require last mile delivery companies to directly employ their workers.

Thank you, @NYCMayor, for your support of the Amazon Teamsters movement and for endorsing the Delivery Protection Act to hold companies like Amazon accountable when they break the law.
Every worker deserves dignity and respect on the job, and we are proud to stand together in the fight against the world’s greediest company. It’s long past time to pass the Delivery Protection Act and show companies like Amazon that the days of exploiting workers and endangering our communities are over.
When a worker wears an Amazon vest, drives an Amazon van and delivers on an Amazon-controlled route, but Amazon denies they work for the company — that's exploitation.
When we see that traffic and injury-causing crashes spike on the streets around a warehouse — that's exploitation. And it makes our streets less safe.
We stand with working people, not corporations that profit by denying them their rights. We stand with @Teamsters and for safe streets in New York City.
We will pass the Delivery Protection Act.

When New York City passes the Teamsters-backed Delivery Protection Act, it will kickstart a movement nationwide to finally put an end to Amazon's exploitation and ensure that the workers who make the $3 trillion delivery giant run get the pay and benefits they deserve.
Thank you Mr. Mayor!
Let’s get the Delivery Protection Act passed and enforced!!!!

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon.
Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.
It leaves our workers unprotected and our streets less safe. It's time for a change.
I'm proud to support the Delivery Protection Act to crack down on exploitative subcontracting and build an economy that works for everyone.

TEAMSTERS RALLY FOR DELIVERY PROTECTION ACT AT NEW YORK CITY HALL
Today, Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien joined hundreds of rank-and-file Amazon Teamsters and New York City elected officials, including Mayor Zohran Mamdani, for a rally at City Hall urging Council Speaker Julie Menin to schedule an immediate vote on the Delivery Protection Act.
The Delivery Protection Act, authored by Councilmember Tiffany Cabán (D-22nd District), would require delivery companies like Amazon to register their facilities with the city and ban subcontracting for last-mile delivery drivers in the five boroughs. Amazon uses a corrupt subcontracting model in which third-party “Delivery Service Partners” shield the company from legal liability while making billions in profit. The bill is supported by a majority of the City Council and Mayor Mamdani.
“Amazon is America’s most corrupt white-collar crime syndicate, wasting millions to rob warehouse workers of the right to collectively bargain while designing a nationwide subcontracting scheme to deny employment rights to its entire fleet of delivery drivers,” O’Brien said. “New York City is a vital artery of Amazon’s global logistics operations, and it must be the first city to pass the Delivery Protection Act. Amazon’s unchecked exploitation of drivers and parcel delivery workers has got to end. The Teamsters are honored to lead the fight to fix a broken system stacked against working people, and we thank Mayor Mamdani, Councilmember Cabán, and the supermajority of the City Council for standing with workers at this critical moment.”

Companies like Amazon control the work & collect the profits, but leave workers without basic protections. The Delivery Protection Act would hold these companies accountable & improve safety for both workers & communities.

The Amazon driver who is forced to drive in extreme heat, starts vomiting, and is told to keep driving.
The Amazon driver who cuts his leg open, is told to keep going, goes to the hospital instead, and gets fired for it.
The driver who is attacked by a mentally ill man *while delivering packages,* goes to the hospital, stays home on doctors orders, and is docked pay for the days she's recovering.
The driver who is sent out with broken doors, a broken transmission, and has to keep going.
The driver who is sent out with a side mirror held together with tape, and is told "go buy tape, tape it again, and keep driving."
The same driver who is sent out with no reverse camera, in the summer with kids out of school who's told "just don't go in reverse."
The drivers sent out to drive in New York City with zero training.
...and Amazon takes zero responsibility for all of it.
There's a bill in the New York City council right now, today, that fixes all of this. The Delivery Protection Act has the support of the Mayor and a supermajority of the council. One powerful democrat, @SpeakerMenin, just needs to move it forward. NYC can make history, protect workers, protect people on the street, and check this lawlessness. Or it can leave these drivers hanging out to dry.
